All exposures on blood-fed individuals were carried out 4 hours post blood-feeding. (FANG: pyrethroid susceptible An. funestus, Fumoz-R: pyrethroid resistant An. funestus.)

"SE" = standard error; "n" = sample size; "p" = significance of difference between the unfed and blood-fed groups following 2 sample t-tests.
